Michigan Tuesday: Recruiting Blitz

The Dee Hart decision is close and is expected next week.  Dee will be enrolling early and wants to get his official decision made so he can focus on football and school and not on recruiting. 

Dee visited Arkansas last weekend (who played Alabama) and the weekend before was at Auburn.  This weekend  he is visiting Alabama and will make his decision know next week.  

When he visited Auburn there were reports he was close to committing on the spot.  We know he isn't that interested in Arkansas because he Mom said so.  With that said, I think it's down to Alabama and Michigan.  Saban vs Rodriguez.  A man that turned down the job vs the man that took it.  A possible match up between two teams in Dallas in 2012. 

Dee has visited Michigan three times and still has to be seen as the leader, but Saban can recruit and I'm sure will pull out all the stops this weekend as they host Florida.   Dee is still expected to be up in Ann Arbor for the Iowa or MSU game which has to be seen as a good sign for the Wolverines.

• Michigan is almost a two touchdown favorite at IU on Saturday.  -13.5

• Michigan has offered junior QB from Tampa Bay Plant City High Bennie Coney

• Michigan 2011 recruit from the same school in Tampa, Tony Posada has a sprained MCL and is listed as day-to-day.  He suffered the injury on 9/21 and didn't play last weekend.

• NJ TE Jack Tabb will visit Iowa this weekend.  Michigan is recruiting Jack for the 2011 class as well.

• Three updates below from TomVH at Mgoblog: 2011 CB recruit Avery Walls was named to the Army All American game.  Avery will visit Oregon and CAL and then make his offical decision known after that.  He plans on enrolling early and wants to make sure he is accepted before he announces his decision.

 

• 2012 recruit Alan Grant is the son of former Wolverine Tony Gant visited Ann Arbor last weekend for the BGSU game:  "The visit was good, and I got a chance to talk with the coaches too. We mainly talked about how the season was going, how I was doing, and we talked a little about school and the recruiting process too."   Tony is an OSU fan, so Michigan has some catching up to do. 

• Danny O'Brein is a 6'3 278 pound DT from Flint.  He is a 2012 recruit and visited Michigan this weekend as well:  "I was at the game with my Mom and Dad, and Coach Rodriguez came and talked to us right after his press conference. He said that he can't give me anything in writing until next August, but that I have a verbal offer from the University of Michigan. My Dad is a Michigan fan, so he was excited, me and my Mom were really excited too. It's a relief to know that I have that offer in hand now."
